Trauma is experienced at a higher prevalence rate in individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities than in their typically developing peers, yet individuals with developmental disabilities are less likely to receive timely appropriate supports and services. This session will include information about recognizing signs of trauma in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (with and without intellectual disability) and the appropriate steps for screening and evaluation. Evidence based practices to address trauma response and other behavioral health needs of individuals with ASD will be reviewed.
